Environment shapes human behavior

To be successful, you need to act in an environment that favors your results rather than blocking them.

Motivation, talent, and effort do have matter, but your personal characteristics tend to get overpowered by your environment.

Disinterested interlocutors

Signs of a disengaged, disinterested or unhappy audience:

  • Arms folded in front of the body.
  • Minimal or tense facial expression.
  • Body turned away from you.
  • Eyes downcast, maintaining little contact.

Making a Confident First Impression

  • Have an open posture. Be relaxed, sit or stand upright and place your hands by your sides. 
  • Use a firm handshake. But don't get carried away - you'll likely come across as rude or aggressive.
  • Maintain good eye contact. Try to hold the other person's gaze for a few seconds at a time. 
  • Avoid touching your face. There's a common perception that people who touch their faces while answering questions are being dishonest.
